Spa Hotels in Fevik

Comfortable rooms with splendid views of the sea. The Strand hotel in Fevik is about 40 minutes from the nearest airport at Kristiansand. This hotel was known as a ‘bathing hotel’ and one can imagine families coming just for the proximity to the beach and calm seawater. The hotel has gardens that lead to a sandy beach and the sea. In August, the water was warm enough for swimming, but the hotel also has a jacuzzi for when it’s colder. There is a generous spread at the breakfast buffet with plenty of smoked salmon and prawn spread, and the famous caramelised Norwegian brown cheese. Staff were friendly and accommodating, helping us carry our luggage to the second floor. One drawback is that there is no elevator, which may be difficult for those with mobility issues. For those wanting to travel to the nearby seaside towns of Arundel or Kristiansan, the hotel will organise a taxi. Be sure to ask for a room with views of the sea, or better still, one with a balcony overlooking the sea.
